6E-2  POWER STEERING AND COLUMN

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Caution: To ensure the energy-absorbing action of
the steering column, it is important to use only the
specified screws, bolts, and nuts, tightened to the
specified torque.

In addition to the steering function, the steering column
provides safety and security.

The energy-absorbing column is designed to compress
in a front-end collision to lessen the chance of driver
injury.

The ignition switch and the lock are mounted on the
column, allowing the ignition and steering operations
to be locked to inhibit theft of the car.

The column levers trigger the turn signals, the headlight
beams, and the windshield washer and wipers.

A tilt steering column uses a spherical joint to allow
the steering wheel to tilt up and down. This enables
the driver to adjust the steering wheel to a comfortable
position.

Notice: Apply a thin coat of lithium grease to all friction
points when reassembling.

The column may be disassembled and reassembled
easily.
